Chapter 228 227. Still a little proud
What a wonderful thing! It grows in fifteen days and the tips can be plucked ten times. The whole Sichuan and Chongqing regions have a market for it. I just looked at the wholesale price and the retail price of pea tips this year is five yuan per pound. It is definitely a high-priced vegetable.
Large output, wide market and high price.
Is there anything better than this?
What blueberries, strawberries, raspberries? Go have fun!
As a result, Wenying shook her head and said, "I haven't completed the breeding yet. It's only the second generation now. The traits must be stable for at least five generations before they can remain unchanged. Moreover, the stability of traits is only the beginning of a variety."
Wenying refused.
But Luo Yihang believed in his own feelings very much.
He was a cultivator, and in that world he had heard many stories about how a thought could be communicated with heaven and earth, and how he could gain blessings or avoid disasters.
He immediately suggested, "Can I help you with the cultivation? Don't worry, the patent is still yours. I just want the seedlings."
Wenying was stunned for a moment and replied: "I don't care whether it is patented or not, I mean, the experimental conditions over there..."
There is no explicit statement later.
The meaning is very clear. Breeding is a very scientific matter and it is not something that can be started on a whim.
Luo Yihang immediately responded by showing off his strength, "The soil here is special, the plant traits are very obvious, and I have a laboratory-level greenhouse, and I have experts here."
After saying that, he pulled Shi Juan.
Shi Juan's eyes rolled, and she immediately reacted and introduced herself: "Senior sister, I graduated with a master's degree in agricultural science from Huazhong Agricultural University. I can do pathological experiments, metal enrichment experiments, biological toxicity experiments, tissue culture, trait analysis, growth records, group experiments, control experiments, and even field management."
Or Qi Ruomu said that Shi Juan was a jack of all trades and she could do everything.
However, Qi Ruomu and Luo Yihang had talked about it privately. Shi Juan was the type of person who could do everything but had no specialized projects. She was very good at the operational level but not suitable for scientific research, so she did not continue her studies after her master's degree.
How great.
After Shi Juan finished speaking, Qi Ruomu also rolled his eyes and pulled out Professor Du to endorse Luo Yihang, "Senior Sister, you can rest assured when you come in. When Professor Du brought me here, he specifically said that Luo Yihang is most suitable for breeding."
As soon as these words were spoken, Wenying's attitude changed immediately. "Since the teacher agrees, I won't say anything. Xiao Qi, give me an address in China, and I will send you the ancestral and paternal plants, as well as this fast-growing product (which has not been named yet) through research collaboration channels. I will send you an electronic version of the research data. You can culture a batch yourself, starting with the second generation."
After saying this, he gave a wry smile, "I didn't expect that a game, which is a fruitless species, could actually be useful."
Look at what others say, so domineering and capable.
As a game, it is easy to come up with a new species to save the people of Sichuan and Chongqing.

After hanging up the video.
Qi Ruomu patted Luo Yihang on the shoulder with a playful look on his face and said, "New plant varieties don't have patents, that's called intellectual property. You really don't want it? The protection period is twenty years."
Luo Yihang said indifferently: "How can I want the variety cultivated by your senior sister? Are you kidding me?"
"Really?" Qi Ruomu asked with a smile.
Luo Yihang was about to nod when he felt Shi Juan pulling him.
Turning his head, he saw Shi Juan shaking her head at him, "Boss, I want to contribute, why shouldn't I? We have to get the ownership of the cooperative varieties, just like Senior Brother Qi said, it's twenty years, we should get some points."
"Can this be divided?" Luo Yihang asked curiously.
Qi Ruomu was laughing, pointing at Luo Yihang, "You are showing your weakness, you amateur. If the ownership rights cannot be divided, how can Dr. Wei attract investment to cultivate new species? Investors are not philanthropists who spend money to make contributions."
"However, Senior Sister Wen's situation is a bit special. She was sent abroad on a government mission and has organizational connections. The equipment used for the experiment is from Eindhoven. How should the ownership and breeding authorization be divided? I have to ask Professor Du. Professor Du has many connections and he can find out clearly." "However, as a partner, you must have a copy of the breeding authorization. At least there will be no problem if you breed and sell it yourself. Others will also get a share of the money from breeding. It's just a matter of how much."
Well, there are quite a lot involved.
Just leave it to Qi Ruomu, Luo Yihang doesn't understand it anyway.
Then it was Shi Juan's turn.
Shi Juan had only one request, which was money.
"Boss, we don't have a tissue culture laboratory yet, nor do we have any breeding-related equipment."
The laboratory, I completely ignored it just now.
Hearing this word makes me shudder, "How much will it cost?"
"It's not expensive. Tissue culture is very cheap now, only tens of thousands of yuan. The consumables are expensive, and the larger the scale of cultivation, the more expensive it is."
Therefore, Shi Juan didn't know how much it would cost.
Tissue culture is plant tissue culture, which uses the theory that plant cells have totipotency to carry out asexual reproduction.
Plant cells are totipotent, which means that any cell of a plant can grow into a complete plant.
For example, by propagating by cuttings, a branch can be inserted into the soil and a whole tree will grow, with bark, roots, leaves, flowers and fruits.
The same cannot be said for animals. No matter how you cultivate a lump of meat, it can only become a large lump of meat, not a pig.
The cost of tissue culture is relatively high and is mostly used in laboratories and for particularly precious plants.
Then there is a question, "This pea does not bear fruit, how can we mass-produce it in the future? Do we rely on tissue culture?"
The cost would be high.
Qi Ruomu laughed again, "How are seedless watermelons cultivated? Seedless grapes? Triploid rice and corn, the ones that can't be saved for seeds."
"From the seed company." Luo Yihang answered casually, and then immediately realized, "I was asking where the seeds of the seed company come from."
"Hybridization. Didn't Senior Sister send you both the ancestral and paternal lines, as well as her breeding records, for you to use for hybridization. But there is a problem with peas, they are self-pollinating, so if you want to produce them on a large scale, you can only pollinate them artificially."
Luo Yihang knew that artificial pollination was not a big problem, as there were too many artificially pollinated things available.
The small tomatoes that Luo Yihang plans to grow in the greenhouse require artificial pollination.
It's very simple. Just blow the wind, collect the pollen, put it in a can and spray it, or you can even use a brush to brush them one by one. Anything will work.
After explaining the professional matters.
Qi Ruomu once again showed a weird expression and looked at Luo Yihang, "What a shit luck you have! If this kind of fast-growing peas really succeed, you can make a fortune by selling licenses and seeds. It would be great to make money by lying down for 20 years!"
Luo Yihang had no idea whether it smelled good or not.
But Qi Ruomu's words woke Luo Yihang up.
I just had a sudden blessing in my heart. Maybe I received the wishes of the kids in Sichuan and Chongqing for pea tips.
Is it up to him to lower the price of pea tips and make them a year-round vegetable instead of a winter vegetable?
If you have already arrived, have you benefited the world?
I'm a little proud~~
